Stanley Kubrick is a well-known American director who was often inspired by generations as a master .In his 70 years of life history, it's very rare among directors that a total of 13 feature films were shoot. His main creative period is from the 1950s to the 1990s. In his film, we can see obviously not only the Hollywood classic movie style but also a strong spirit of innovation. His films have not been restrained by fixed models, and they are a link between the classic Hollywood movies and the "new Hollywood" movies. This paper is mainly to find the general rules and the fixes style of the director by reading his works so that we can learn the philosophy of his films. In the process of analyzing films, mainly deepens the progressive sequence algorithm, of the three films to tap. We mainly deepen order Inc to tap the characters of the films largely from narrative, audio-visual language and Aesthetic features areas. The spirit of innovation and tragedy of the films is the core of the article which various parts are focusing on and form a unified whole. Kubrick experienced mainly from conservative to open and from appearance to Psychology while the "future trilogy "of '60s to the'70s is a turning point. The director used a kind of exaggerated and rich audio-visual language to establish a symbolic metaphor so that the movie can get closer from the impact of sensory characteristics of the dream to the concept and philosophy of the tragedy which can not only reveal the human flaws and the short and difficult life reality but also be sure of the tremendous courage of mankind. While certainly implies that the cycle of life and our unlimited hope and reflection. In the area of narrative film, the director used the classic Hollywood film adaptation of the novel habit to describe the call and sophisticated perspective on the design, while using a variety of narrative structure. He used these "invisible" external and narrative means to make the movie more three-dimensional and fullness, which implies more fruitful. In the area of audio-visual language, the director pursuit innovation and make bold breakthroughs in the original audio-visual language. He is good at using a closed space to express human psychological depression and oppression, but also to show pictures of a breakthrough in 3D space; the new and large sections of time and space jumping fully demonstrated the unique charm of Montage but also show human general in different time and space; film photography skills and a strong contrast with the exaggerated picture establish Kubrick's dual and contradictory home style so that can create new elements and significance. The director creates conflict from the narrative to external events in the hearts of mankind. In addition, the subversive use of classical music and the sound and pictures of the irregular allocation method allow the film's overall style more fixed, so that Kubrick become a warrior with a contradictive style, which is the same as the human courage to overcome the difficulties. Kubrick's films convey us an aesthetic tragedy of Nietzsche who is often called as "a tragedy of Jurists". He used a unique film language to explain the value of the life, the eternal life and superhuman will. Kubrick's films tell us a strong reflection of our spirit and give adequate attention to human in an apparent compassion in order to let more people remain sober-minded and still hold boundless hopes. Kubrik makes film and philosophy integrated and infiltrated in maximum range and explains aesthetic film tragedy. Therefore, Stanley Kubrick not only expands audio-visual film languages but also improves our aesthetic concept and philosophy of life.
